In calirofnia, if you hit a deer, fish & game is supposed to take it and give it to the indians, I guess if the indians don't want it they dispose of it in a "state approved" manner. My son, who lives in Arizona, hit a deer and animal control asked if he had a freezer big enough for it, he said "no" and one of the state troopers said "I'll take it!" My son filled out some sort of custody form and the trooper got his freezer filled.
